So how did it go for everyone?

Can anyone remember the question title for the mind essay that wasn't the access eliminative materialsm, and what they wrote about in it

It was something like "Do any of the theories provide an adequate account of how the mind interacts with the body and how the body interacts with the mind?." That's not what it was word for word, but that's how I interpreted it at least.

Thanks George Morgan. Just wondering what you wrote about, i have a friend who wrote only about dualism and ocasionalism, pscho-physical parrallism, epiphenomenalism etc where as I wrote about the mind theories in general in tackling the relation of mind and body. Did one of us get it horribly wrong, or are they both ok?

I think all of those are probably OK. I did exactly the same thing as you for that question. But I'm not really sure what would have been best. I wrote a bit about epiphenomenalism, but I took the question to be about the theories of mind as well. Just have to wait and see I suppose. What other question did you do?

We do moral philosophy. I chose the question about wether the fact different cultures have different moral judgements shows there is no moral truth. The Moral relativism question basically.

I had a ditz moment at the start and thought political was the first section and then panicked cause I couldn't find the mind questions anywhere, I even checked the back XD
Glad natural rights question came up, I'd been hoping it would :smile:

I did the cultural relativism one too! What conclusion did you come to? I said that cultural realtivism doesn't necessarily mean that there are no moral truths.

I did the eliminative materialism one, and the duty morality question. Probably not the best questions looking back, but I guess there is just Mill to look forward to now :biggrin:

Yeah so did I. I said moral realists had strong arguments and even non-cognitivits had far stronger arguments than just cultural difference to rely on

Messed up a bit on the political question. I did the one on liberty and the state.

I redeemed myself with the religion essay though. I just dicked all over religious experience.

Hey, do you know what the quote was from and what it meant?

I would have preferred to have done the religious experience question, but settled with miracles because I couldn't understand it.

It was Bertrand Russell. He basically said that if one person were to take drugs and see God and the other were to starve and see a rabbit in a top hat, one is not more valid than the other. Therefore religious experience (especially mystics) = ****

I really had to think about it when I saw it first. It wasn't really essentially to the question anyway.
